lyrics

Hand me gold, hand me silver and I’ll spill it all out; I’ll cast it away
Spend the most on the women and the rest on the jack of spades
And I’ll be back around in the month of May

There was a woman once, she held me like a heavy rain
Like every man needs a cradle, every woman needs a heart to mend
Yes I knew love once, but I’ll never know love again

She stole my heart like some sea-bound bird
And I’ll spend all of this God-damned money ‘till it no longer hurts
Cos she’s my ocean, yes she’s my lover
I’ll follow her horizons farther and farther
And drop my anchor when this old debt is through
And I’ll flog that dead horse, ride these endless latitudes.

I never was one for water, my colour turns, my stomach tips
But she stood firm on her sea legs, she whispered through her sea lips
And I’ll dive deep into that ocean cos her smile could launch a thousand ships

Throw myself at these sails like the wind and the rain
And every new voyage another link in this ball and chain
Cos she’s my ocean, yes she’s my lover
I’ll follow her horizons further and further
And drop my anchor when this old debt is through
And I’ll flog that dead horse, try my best not to think of you.
